Canadian men storm 'Fort Feminism'

This email came in today from an activist contact by the name of Maus. This really does sound like good news and an excellent activism opportunity. Please spread around the link to this post! Canadian men are finally storming fort feminism!

Darren,

I would not bother you with this except it is a sweet spot of opportunity.

Canada recently elected a Tory government. I did not vote for them, but I think I will next election. They are making good on election promisses at they appointed a closet member of 'REAL women' to be the minister in charge of Status of Women.

In a sudden and unannounced move they have cut off all funding of Status of Women. In Canada that means virtually every cent that is paid into feminism except for corporate donations from the Body Shop and charities like United Way. These of course can be easily undermined.

So that effectively, the head has been cut off of the snake. Feminist unwillingness to listen to MRA's has been instrumentalin this arriving as a total supprise.

Now the snake from the neck down is writhing like crazy. On Thursday I attended a union meeting where a speaker from the Canadian Labour Congress called for a rallying of support for SOW and the gun registry which is being reeled in as well.

I told her off in no uncertain terms before a stunned assembly. I also told her that I was instrumental in getting SOW taken down through internet lobbying.

The problem is the Tories are a minority government and they will need support in order to shout down the clamour that will be coming.

Because of a certain abnoxious rodent raising issues of McCarthyism, the direct link to the minister's e-mail was taken down and tracking cookie functionality was removed from SOW's site. They now do not even know which country traffic is comming from and for incoming flak traffic, the current minister and cabinet would actually find it useful.

It, with the possible exception of the SCUM manifesto, has been the most outrageous feminist pronouncement in history and has served to unite and mobilize the Men's Rights Activism movement, REAL women, the independent feminist forum, and the second wives club and exposed feminism for the calous mean spirited doctrine that it really is.

2. How did you use the report? As a tool in: Advocacy

3. Are you affiliated with:....OTHER.......I am the meanest rat in the pack that came after SOW

4. Other comments:.....

In order to pretend that you speak for women collectively, you have to go through two little inconveniences, the first inconvenience is that you have to get elected, the second inconvenience is that you have to stay elected. We have indeed been foolish enough to elect some real witches, those who insisted on being witches once in power did not stay elected. You simply cannot post gauleiters of political correctness at the ballot box. If the current Conservative regieme wants to prevent this from re-emerging, they should take a long hard look at post secondary funding to the mutual admiration society that benefited from it and perpetuated one of the worst injustices in Canadian history. By the way, I happen to be a graduate of Mount Saint Vincent University and I would rather let a tarantula lay it's eggs in my ear than be compelled to attend "sensitivity training"--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turn of the tide: feminists begin to regret

Cosmopolitan (The women's magazine that urges women to use men for sex) Editor Lorraine Candy has a change of mind and now urges women not to have "Soul-less sex":

"We didn't feel ashamed about one-night stands...this, we thought, is what feminism is about."

70s feminist Fay Weldon now says:

"It is the fault of me and my like, who... got it wrong.

So were we wrong, we feminists, setting women free? The results have been devastating – greater than we ever imagined.

We steamed ahead, changing the world with too little caution, and I hope the future will forgive us.

The pendulum has swung too far over. But it may yet swing back again. Societies, thank God, tend to be self-righting."

"Once a man could look forward to starting a family and the dignity that came from being the provider. Forget it. At best as a man you're decorative, look after the kids and earn a bit sometimes; at worst you're a write-off. Women are elbowing the men out. The boys get anxious, the girls swagger. The male suicide rate goes up, female down. Twenty-eight per cent of us now live in single person households - a lonely and unnatural state - and most of the 28 per cent consist of young men. It is strange that it is left to a woman to suggest, in the normal nurturing way, that men start some kind of movement to promote their gender's status and self-esteem - call it masculinism, brotherism, machoism, what you want - and some mark of the success of the feminist movement, that it needs to be done."

60's feminist Doris Lessing now says:"It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.

Men seem to be so cowed that they can't fight back, and it is time they did."

An excerpt from an interview with Joan Rivers:

"She's not with the feminists when it comes to matters of the heart. For her, they're to blame for the current parlous state of our relationships, as depicted in these television Shows (Such as Sex in the city) and films. "I saw this coming. You cannot be equal to a man, you cannot make a man feel 'I don't need you' or 'I'll take my sex when I want it'. All these shows are so sad."

Camille Paglia :

"Women have been discouraged from genres such as sculpture that require studio training or expensive materials.

But in philosophy, mathematics, and poetry, the only materials are pen and paper.

Male conspiracy cannot explain ALL female failures.

I am convinced that, even without restrictions, there still would have been no female Pascal, Milton, or Kant.

. . . Even now, with all vocations open, I marvel at the rarity of the woman driven by artistic or intellectual obsession, that self-mutilating derangement of social relationship which, in its alternate forms of crime and ideation, is the disgrace and glory of the human species."
